Answer
Ian Wooldridge, a sports journalist for The Guardian, coined the phrase "Boycott, in short, walks alone" in 1971 to describe the isolation of the sports boycott movement during the apartheid era in South Africa. Despite broad opposition to the apartheid system, many nations and sports organizations continued to engage with South Africa, leaving the boycott movement relatively isolated in its efforts to challenge the regime.
